Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Corpus Crissy's Classic Kids Big ninety three to nine. Hey,
a tipping with you and I have Mikayla with me
with the coastal Bin Food Bank where on October fourth,
they've got a great event going on. Mikayla, how are you.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm good, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
So tell me about this Billionaire's Club masquerat Ball murder
mystery thing.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yes, we have. It's an exciting event, a fundraising event
to help support the postal Bin Food Bank and the
eleven counties that we serve here in our community. All
proceeds that we received from here will benefit all of
our neighbors within our eleven county service area. It's a
fun night, use it a food fun and great food,
and we have actors coming in to have a murder

(00:41):
mystery and somebody's going to you know, for lots of words,
is somebody's gonna die and we have to solve the mystery.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Now, this is actually the first time somebody's done this
in the coastal Bin right, Yes, to.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Our knowledge, it's the first time. So we're really excited
about this and we're hoping that it goes well and
we can make it an annual event every October.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Okay, So people want to get tickets, where can they
go to get tickets right now?

Speaker 2 (01:02):
They could visit the Coastalbinfoodbank dot org a website. They
can give us a phone called eighty seven six nine
one and purchase tickets are one hundred and twenty dollars
and it provides you with the meal, your dream and
a fun night. And just so you know that one
hundred and twenty dollars is going to provide four hundred
and eighty meals. So every dollar that we received makes

(01:23):
an impact in this community because every one dollars provides
four meals. Wow, So when you think about the price,
it's going to go a long way.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah. Now, I also notice on your Facebook page you
have up there that September is Hunger Action Month. Tell
us what we can do with the coastal Bin Food
Bank to help out this month?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Oh, Hunger Action Month. It's a national awareness day in
conjunction with Feeding America. And what we've really been asking
our community to do is to organize food drive. Right now,
our racks are empty in our warehouse because as soon
as the food that we receive comes in, it goes
right back out into our community. Since we start eleven counties,
we have partner food entries located in each county and

(02:01):
then we also hold multile distributions here at our facility.
So we've served fourteen million pounds. Wow, we contributed fourteen
million pounds this past the school year. It's just been
a real impact. We've seen a twenty percent increase in
neighbors that we've served this year within this last year,
and we anticipate that it's going to grow. So the

(02:22):
support that we get from our generous donors and our
community that are able to support us, we greatly appreciate it.
And you know, fund ranges by this or what goes
a long way, but even just collecting nonperishable food makes
it makes a big difference here at our community. Right.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
So if people want to find out more details, they
can go to coastal Binfoodbank dot org or give them
a call. And of course the big event happening on
October fourth, it's all benefiting the coastal Ban Food Bank.
Any last words, we just hope that.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
They can join us have one. We still have sponsorship
opportunities if anybody wants to buy a table. Tables are
available to purchase. If they want to come in check
out our new facility. This event is going to be
at our brand new facility. We have a commune room
and everything will be here at the food Bank and
they'll be able to see the warehouse and what kind
of impact you know, is going on here in our community.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
So do I need to show up dressed as Scooby
Doo so we can have the mystery machine show up
for a murder mystery?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, we do. We're going to have the police here
and I already told them that they can't be trying
to solve it before anybody else.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
I'll be in the background going, oh no, I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Thanks, fun event. We're excited.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, thanks a lot for calling in and looking forward
to it.
